Abigail, 15 years old, MA | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Abigail has been in the foster care system for the last 8 years and is now living in a group home. Abigail is a strong-willed, funny, smart & kind young adult. She loves shopping, sports, fashion, art, music and hanging out with her friends. Abigail loves to play basketball, listen to hip hop music and watch scary movies. Abigail recently got matched with a mentor and loves to chat and spend time with her mentor in the community. Abigail hopes to be a vet one day and to own her own house!

Living in a program means Abigail doesn't often get to run her own errands or go shopping when she wants to. She's often left wearing secondhand clothes or the cheapest option available, even though she really wants to fit in at school like everyone else. She's had her eye on this Sp5der hoodie, and while it's pricier than what she's used to, it's exactly the kind of piece that would help her feel like she belongs, rather than showing up in a cheaper knockoff. Wearing something she chose, in a brand she loves, would give Abigail real confidence heading into the new school year.
